Co-dependent

You don't wanna talk.
I don't wanna walk
Away. But, Dar-r-ling,
It's time to
Keep it real.

I know now
All our problems
Were out of my hands.
I shouldn't have to
Earn your attention.

All the worthlessnes
I felt
Wasn't founded
On the truth.
They were
Just lies
Told to make me
More (more)
Dependent on you.

Sure (sure)
I brought (brought)
My own baggage
To this relationship.
Sure (sure)
I thought (thought)
You were
The Best thing
in it.

But it's not healthy
To smile or cry
Based on your whim.
So I'm cutting
The strings
To my addict-tion
For you.
And will try
To not be so
Co-dependent.

Da da da da da...

Co-dependent.

This doesn mean
I don't want you around.
I'm trying to see
What solution
Can be found.
The lies and pain
Swimming inside
My head
Have been drowning me
And making me
Breathless
And light headed.

But I've been getting help
Just these few quick
Breaths of air
Are keeping me alive.
I'm getting back
On my feet.
I'm hoping to keep
Treading water
And learn how to
Survive and thrive.

It would be
Unfair
To point fingers
And claim
There's only you
To blame.
But it is
A shame
That I am so
Addicted.

I need your love.
I'm weak without
You near
And I am
Drowning again.
But I should't
Die
Without you
By my side.

Apparently
It's not
Normal to be
So dependent.

I am learning
it's not healthy
To smile or cry
Based on your whim.
So I'm cutting
The strings
To my addict-tion
For you.
And will try
To not be so
Co-dependent.

Da da da da da...

Co-dependent.

Apparently
It's not
Normal to be
So (so)
Dependent.

I know you
Want me to be
Happy and
Healthy.
And truly
Wouldn't it
Be a relief to
See me
Do things
On my own
Without you
Having to
Tell me that I can.

Apparently
It's not
Normal to be
So (so)
Dependent.

it's not healthy
To smile or cry
Based on your whim.
So I'm cutting
The strings
To my addict-tion
For you.
And will try
To not be so (so)
Co-dependent.

Da da da da da...

Co-dependent...
